SSH connections using libica AES-GCM now work correctly
Previously, unmodified data could be tagged as modified when using decryption with the
AES-GCM cipher suite. As a consequence, SSH connections could not be established when using AES-GCM, and with some applications, data encrypted using AES-GCM could not be decrypted. With this update, the tag is computed from the ciphertext when decrypting and from the plaintext when encrypting. As a result, SSH connections using AES-GCM are now successfully established, and it is possible to decrypt data encrypted with AES-GCM. (BZ#1490894)
